Happy times

Finally, a post with only goods news! Firstly, I handed in my thesis! Hooray! My supervisor told me last week that without any adjustments, it would be a seven. Since a few adjustments are easy to make, I took the weekend to tweak it a little, so now I´m hoping for a 7+. Anyway, it's handed in, so now all I have to do is wait for his opinion and that of the second reviewer.
Second good news: the supervisor from my upcoming internship at Oxford asked if I'd like to do my PhD there as well. It's quite a tough program to get into (GPA of 3,5? Ha, let's try 2,9 XD), but she seems confident it's not totally out of my league. So what's the harm in trying? If it doesn't turn out, I'll always have the experience, and I'll just apply for a PhD in Holland. In Holland the admission criteria aren't as strict as in Oxford, however to become a PhD we do require 3 to 4 publications, which aren't required for a PhD in Oxford. So both have their ups and downs.
As for the third, our Christmas tree is up! :D I know, it's really really early, but I just love Christmas! It's so pretty! :D Now that all the school work is finished (for now), all I have to do is sleep in, buy presents and enjoy Christmas! I already have a present for my mum (she wanted a new riding whip), but my dad is always a problem. Some kind of DVD from Stargate/Star Wars/ Star Trek? Something star anyway...

With love and Christmas spirit!
